1 Program Summary, Planning Guide and Electives Bachelor of Science in Sustainability Studies Major Code: 7039 Degree Awarded: Bachelor of Science Delivery Mode(s): Classroom Location(s): Main Campus - Melbourne Admission Status: Undergraduate Age Restriction: No Sustainability professionals use combinations of interdisciplinary skills to create and manage complex social, environmental, and economic systems within a wide array of occupations. The program curricula expands on Florida Tech s well-known science and technology strengths and adds a unique combination of business and social science courses to produce unusually wellrounded graduates that can operate across multiple disciplines in the 21st century workforce. Four concentrations are offered: Technology & Engineering, Business & Economics, Environmental Sciences, and Social Sciences. The program emphasizes advanced educational experiences, hands-on projects (individually and in teams), opportunities for research on campus or internships in the community, and the training of graduates who will excel either in the changing job market or interdisciplinary graduate schools. Final capstone projects use a campus classroom model: students address real-world sustainability challenges to generate explicit products and build marketable skills. Degree Requirements Candidates must meet the minimum course requirements (124 total credits) as outlined in the program planning guide (next page). As a part of the curriculum, 24 credits of restricted electives from the four program concentrations are required as follows: - Environmental Sciences minimum of 6 cr (ES) - Technology & Engineering minimum of 6 cr (TE) - Business & Economics minimum of 6 cr (BE) - Social Sciences minimum of 6 cr (SS) To encourage students to focus on areas of greatest individual interest, students take an additional 15 credits from one or more of the program concentrations in consultation with their academic advisor. These electives are termed Concentration Courses in the program planning guide. The 15 credits can come from any courses in the list of program electives. Admission Requirements Students intending to apply should complete at least one year of high school environmental sciences or biology and at least one year of chemistry or physics. Courses in economics or business are encouraged but not required. Additional university admissions requirements apply.
